Re: [NTG-context] Compiling a large metapost document

      I figured it out. I was wrongly calculating the page size argument for gs.
Thank you very, very much again Max!

There is one more problem: the pdf generated has incorrect margins. I
tried to manually calculate the size in ps points and run gs directly, but
the results are the same. How can I get an accurate rendering of the page?

Thank you very much Max! It works indeed! One more question. How would
I
import the eps file back into MPpage, so I could do trickery with text.
Convert the PostScript file into PDF with either "ps2pdf" or
GhostScript, then you can import the file with "externalfigure":
\startMPpage
         draw externalfigure "belgrade_gm.pdf";
         draw textext.top("One") shifted (264.352, 116.362);
         draw textext.top("Two") shifted (306.821, 186.907);
     \stopMPpage
